In making its determination the Tribunal has considered the following facts and circumstances: • increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the financial year ended 30 June 2016, as follows: o weighted average of the eight capital cities – 1.4% o Brisbane – 1.6% • increases in the Wage Price Index (WPI) for the financial year ended 30 June 2016, as follows: o Australia – 2.1% o Queensland – 1.9% • Determination 12/2016 (2 August 2016) of the Queensland Independent Remuneration Tribunal which increased remuneration levels for Members of the Legislative Assembly by 2.25% from 1 September in each of 2015, 2016 and 2017 • the decision of the (federal) Remuneration Tribunal not to increase remuneration levels for Members of the Federal Parliament and Senate ‘until well into 2017’, with the last increase of 2.0% from 1 January 2016 being the only increase in remuneration for federal parliamentarians since 1 July 2013 • anecdotal reports of continuing financial pressures being experienced by many local governments • the conservative approach to the setting of remuneration levels previously adopted by the Tribunal. Discipline matters There were 12 allegations of serious misconduct, involving five councillors, decided by the Tribunal in 2016, the majority of which concerned alleged release of information that the councillor knew, or should reasonably have known, was confidential to the local government. - 4 - Local Government Remuneration and Discipline Tribunal – Remuneration Report 2016 1.
